Ex Nihilo 2017 EDP
French Affair
Ex Nihilo French Affair is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Quentin Bisch. French Affair opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Angelica, Cedar, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Ex Nihilo's French Affair carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
French Affair is a divisive beast: a modern chypre that’s either a masterpiece of sophisticated, earthy allure or a musty old house, depending on who you ask. Brace yourself for compliments, or complaints.
